NONE, really.
 
If you need long-term, optical is kinda IT.
I'd suggest "M-Disk".
 
Mag disks can be FAIR - but CAN suffer from "bit rot" after awhile.

Which is why if you value your time, you'll invest in a decent
NAS, and pay attention to the disks when they complain.  If a disk
starts to fail -- swap it out!

I recommend Synology -- not only because of its Linux underpinnings,
but its excellent management software:  a desktop metaphor, controlled
through a web browser.  You can also ssh into it.

If you do buy one, I recommend getting one with 10G Ethernet (at least),
and making sure your system has a 10G (or better) connection to it.
